Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

Happy cat! It would be very difficult for her I think if you were to introduce another cat now (for both of them). Some years ago I picked up two old girls from a rescue place having been assured that they came from the same home. Well if they did it was not a happy one. One of them literally lived under our bed until the other one died, and only then did she venture downstairs. Even with our present cat, she was the under cat, dominated by her sister until she was killed. Her personality has completely changed and she loves being the only cat and clearly the princess in the house. Sorry to hear about the expense of your car but better to know and fix I think (even if timing not great!)

Morning Beanie Summer really is a beautiful cat. It's interesting reading comments from other cat owners. It sounds like they mostly  prefer the full on attention of their owner rather than another feline play mate Have a lovely day. xx

My cat definitely prefers to be the only cat.  She wasn't happy when we got a second, though she learnt to tolerate him.  He was killed and we didn't replace him, and when we moved here with no cats in the immediate vicinity, she is clearly so much happier.

Sorry to hear of the car costs beanie. ☹️

I think cats are naturally loners. If you look at any type of wild cat they all live and prey alone - apart from lions (I wonder why that is🤔).

Mr N certainly much preferred being a only cat. 

I just hate to think of an older cat 🐈 being in a shelter with no home. 

Anyway the one I was thinking about has been rehomed already & not with me. 

The rescue saw no problem with it.

I think cats are like people - some like company and others don't - it really depends on their personality!

My Siamese prefers having a cat companion to cuddle with, he coped ok on his own but wasn't used to it and we could see that it made him sad. My BSH quite likes the company of the Siamese but would probably be equally happy on his own.

When we had a third cat she dominated the BSH and they had a love/hate relationship. We didn't realise quite how much she bullied him until she died and he really came out of his shell. On the other hand she wasn't quite so bossy with the Siamese but they were particular friends and pretty much always together. The poor old Siamese looked everywhere for her when she died, turfing all the blankets out of the cat beds etc, it was heartbreaking to watch. 😢

Summer is loving the attention 
Much much cooler today. I am off shortly to hunt for a pair of socks.
I have watched the TV programme about Captain Tom & I have been catching up on admin which is never ever ending.

Hope you found your socks. The weather has certainly changed. I’ve finally decided to paint my decking and looked at the weather forecast.....looks like rainy days for the foreseeable 🙄typical!!
